Employability Focus Month
Employability Focus Month
It’s National Employability Day on Friday 30th June, and so we’ve dedicated the month of June to working hard with some of our partners to really focus on our role in improving people’s employment opportunities.
We started the month by running our first taster session exclusively for people being helped by an amazing organisation called Disability Experts. They provide targeted support for people with disabilities, and they have been an invaluable resource for us in the past few months. With their help, we’ve been able to make some small adjustments to our courses, and in partnership, we should be able to help these participants into employment.
We’ve had a great meeting with Thrive Recruitment this month, in which we discussed some of the job opportunities around Swindon at the moment, and what a difference being trained in multiple disciplines has on people’s employability.
We attended the Swindon Job Fair on Friday 23rd June at the County Ground. This event enabled us to meet with lots of wonderful people, all of whom were looking for work. We talked to people about enhancing their employability by widening their skills, with workplace or forklift training. We also handed out a fair few lollies and sweets to the children, so apologies to the parents!
We wish everyone we met the very best of luck with their job searches. If you want more information about any of the courses we offer, please see our website – https://keyperformancetraining.co.uk/#
We were also delighted to attend Seetec Pluss’s Employability Panel event on Monday 26th June. This was a group of partners, employers, Swindon Borough Council and some of the participants Seetec Pluss have helped. Our local MP Justin Tomlinson attended and joined the discussion as we looked at some of the great things being provided by Seetec Pluss already and what might be needed in the future. Seetec Pluss offer wide and varied practical, hands-on advice to people looking to get back into employment. Their personal approach is so supportive and respectful, and that extends to the relationship with external partners like us. They really make a difference to people’s lives, and we’re honoured to work with them.
Finally, on the day itself, we’re attending an event called “The Neurodiversity Challenge”, which is being run by Disability Experts. We’re looking forward to an enjoyable, educational and entertaining session in which we can improve our knowledge of this topic.
Thank you to everyone we’ve spoken to during these events. We’ve certainly learnt a lot and we hope that we can put into practice some of the things we’ve picked up along the way.
